2. Checking the Network Situation
If a new NETL ink® is to be added to an intranet, use the “ping” command to check in
the command line interpreter (cmd) whether a network subscriber with this address
already exists.
Note: First ask your network administrator whether the preset values are compatible
with your network and freely available.
2.1 Start cmd via the “Run” function
Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> Run -> Open: cmd -> OK
All NETL ink® versions with the IP address: 192.168.4.49 and the subnet mask:
255.255.0.0 are supplied as standard.

General note:
The functions described here relate to 32 and 64 bit Windows¹ operating systems.
Write down the MAC address of your NETL ink® before installing the adapter in your
system. This is required to activate the web interface!
The NETL ink® Ethernet versions enable implementation of TCP/IP on MPI/PPI/PRO-
FIBUS with up to 32 simultaneous connection channels. More detailed information
can be found in the manual.
